Heidi

Narrated by: Marnie MacAdam

In this treasured story, the orphan child, Heidi, is sent to live with her embittered grandfather high in the Swiss Alps. Heidi's innocent joy of life and genuine concern and love for all living things become the old man's salvation.

My book Heidi

I have enjoyed this reading of Heidi. The reader did a fine job of keeping it interesting. I had seen several versions of the movie Heidi but none of them followed this story.

Heidi is always sweet

Of course this story will be appealing. I’ll always love the poignant and refreshing story.

I had to steal a star because the little girls’ voices were often annoying. Their dialect was stilted and varied wildly. Sometimes almost palatable, others tooth-grindingly annoying, piping like piccolos and spoken as though through pursed lips.

I actually hope to find another version eventually. This one will do until then.

Heidi

I had read this book years ago. It had been so long I didn't really remember it. It is an excellent book.

Full of excellent values and good life lessons.

Although these older stories are a little slow-paced, I really enjoy the values and lessons taught. Such a cute story and so much to learn from the characters.

Great story, needs better recording!

I enjoyed the story however the recording seemed poor, whereas the reader being difficult to understand.
